GUI random connection drop

[Chris Dawalt]

I installed 9.3 a day or so after release, and a few times I have lost the GUI connection, but I still have access to the drives. I can see them and move data back and forth. But the connection (in the browser) times out.

It boots up fine in the morning, and I have access to the GUI initially. At some point, I try to check out the reporting tab for example, but it won't respond, and a browser refresh just times out. This has only happened maybe 3 times. Attached are a couple of screen shots from the last two times this has happened. Is there something I don't have configured properly? Let me know if there is additional info I need to supply.

UPDATE: I got into the console screen, and I see that the address has changed from http://192.168.2.32 to http://192.168.2.34. So I suppose the question is, why the change? And I can now access the GUI with the new address.

Looks like a DNS issue. Which system is 192.168.2.5 (a client or FreeNAS)?

It is the Client - (my PC).

I checked my router:

IP Address
Host Name

192.168.2.34
freenas

192.168.2.31

Stop using DHCP or see if your router supports assigning static DHCP leases

It does support static leases - I will look into that. Thanks!
